Best way to stop cupboards opening

  1. I'm looking at the best way to stop cupboards opening when driving, ive tried rollers but they didn't work any other ideas?
     
  2. How about magnetic catches?
     
  3. Are they strong enough?
     
  4. get a westy
    :)
     
  5. i'm not taking the mick btw - get some westy catches. They work a treat. Or any caravan stylie cupboard catch
    :)
     
  6. I found the best way to stop them opening was to remove the biscuits in them..
     
  7. Already have handle on the doors so would be left with holes :(
     
  8. Yes they are sprung, handles are just rod ones from b and q! Have looked in screwfix and might try a double ball fitting
     
  9. Worth a try, I had magnets on my old interior and they did work, also maybe a lip on the shelves inside to stop stuff actually trying to push them open from the inside?

  11. I would agree trying magnetic catches first, they're easy to install and don't leave any trace on the outside. Plus if you need a stronger latch you can install a couple.

    Also as majorhangover says, is anything moving about in the cupboards and pushing the doors open? We've got a roll of that non slip plastic stuff and lines all the cupboards in the van with it. Stops all the tins and jars moving around, but also makes it a little quieter as well. :)
